Switerland (Helicopters, Canyons, and Racecars)

Last train to Clarksville, I mean Interlaken.

Tire changing.

I'm very good at directing traffic.

Flat tire. Not even a big deal.

Thumbs up.

In Interlaken home of extreme sports, Canyoning is very popular, in short, Canyoning is wearing 4 layers of protection from rocks and cold water, then a steep mountain you drive up in a van, followed by jumping off rocks into shallow poopls of water, repelling, diving, and generally being sucked around currents.The only helmet that fits says, "Playboy", little did I know that this day would be one of the best of my life.

Repelling, just like my days in the rainforests of the Amazon.

Wolfe and Schnoebelen at the bottom.

When you've already went skydiving out of a helicopter in the same day, flipping off rocks ain't nothing but a chicken wing.

As Luke jumped he made hand puppets on the rocks behind, a great show of a lion chasing an antelope.

Ladies and gentleman...Luke Schnoebelen is approaching a jump with difficulty of 8, he's focused, you can see it in his eyes. he's ready....

Cold water and contacts and rocks don't mix.

The rock in Delhi has got nothing on Switzerland.

Canyonball....

Group pee.

Come on in the water is warm. Not really.

Flowers in your hair.......

The Jumpers.

View just like I-80.

Brad: Luke?Luke: Yeah!Brad: Were holding up traffic.Luke: Yep.Brad: What should we do.Luke: Just pretend we can't see them.

Which way is skydiving?

Swiss flag.

Middle name on the 'copter.

Zip it on up!

For your 24th Birthday we're going to make this really tight!!!!!!!!!

Stefan: LukeLuke: Yeah.Stefan: Is this tight?Luke: I hope so.Stefan: How about now?Luke: (Refrain, breath, yelp)

Just tighten that harness really tight. Barry Gibb called he wants his signing voice back.
